Old school pro Robert Jurkovic had his Pro Tour debut at Mainz in 1997, but he didn't really begin putting up big finishes on the international stage until Pro Tour Austin in 2009 where he posted a Top 16 finish. Jurkovic followed that up with a Top 16 at Worlds in Rome just a couple of months later, and has remained a constant presence on the Pro Tour since.

While Jurkovic has been playing in Pro Tours for nearly 15 years, Christian Calcano didn't debut on the tour until Pro Tour San Juan in 2010. Since then, Calcano has posted a Top 16 finish at Worlds in Chiba, and has come just short of making the Top 8 at quite a few other premier events.

Christian Calcano and Robert Jurkovic get their match underway.

With 8-3 records going into the final five rounds of Standard, both Jurkovic and Calcano still have their sights set on their first Pro Tour Top 8, but in order to make the cut they're (likely) going to need to go undefeated from this point forward.
